Background: Establishing reliable vascular access is critical for hemodialysis in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In recent years, the global health burden of ESRD has grown, matched by a rise in prevalence of obesity. Currently, more and more arteriovenous fistulae (AVFs) are being created for obese patients with ESRD. This is a growing concern as creating arteriovenous (AV) access in obese ESRD patients can be more challenging and may be associated with poorer outcomes.
Methods: We performed a literature search with multiple electronic databases. We included studies that compared outcomes after autogenous upper extremity AVF creation between obese and nonobese patients. The relevant outcomes were postoperative complications, outcomes related to maturation, outcomes related to patency, and outcomes related to reintervention.
Results: We included 13 studies with a total of 305,037 patients. We found a significant association between obesity and poorer early and late AVF maturation. Obesity was also strongly associated with lower primary patency rates and a higher need for reintervention.
Conclusions: This systematic review found that higher body mass index and obesity are associated with poorer AVF maturation outcomes, poorer primary patency, and higher reintervention rates.

Moroccan Adaptation of the 'Self-Care Behaviour Assessment Scale' for Arteriovenous Fistula in Haemodialysis.
J Ren Care
March 2025
Faculty of Sciences Semlalia, Laboratory of Pharmacology, Neurobiology, Anthropobiology and Environment, Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech, Morocco.
Background: Arteriovenous fistula self-care behaviours in patients receiving haemodialysis are essential to maintain patency of vascular access and prevent its life-threatening complications. Assessing arteriovenous fistula self-care behaviours in patients receiving haemodialysis requires a reliable and valid tool.
Objective: The aim of this study was to adapt and translate the Portuguese scale for the assessment of self-care behaviours of arteriovenous fistula in patients receiving haemodialysis into the Moroccan dialect and evaluate its psychometric properties in the Moroccan context.
Open surgical treatment of a chronic traumatic arteriovenous fistula in the lower extremity: A case report.

Department of Vascular Surgery, The third hospital of mianyang, Sichuan Mental Health Center, Mianyang, Sichuan, China.
Introduction And Importance: A traumatic arteriovenous fistula (TAVF) is a vascular injury where an artery and a vein become abnormally connected. Although endovascular intervention is often the first choice for TAVF, some special cases still require open surgery.
Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man developed a chronic AVF in the lower superficial femoral artery (SFA) one year after a farming accident.
Safety of pre-operative venogram for hemodialysis access planning in pre-end-stage kidney disease patients.

Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Although conventional pre-operative venography can accurately delineate venous anatomy as an alternative to ultrasound for hemodialysis access planning, it may carry a risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and progression of renal failure in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients not yet on dialysis. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pre-operative venograms in pre-end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study (2018-2022) of consecutive pre-ESKD patients who underwent staged bilateral venograms for preoperative vein mapping prior to hemodialysis access creation at a tertiary care medical center.
Use of vascular access methods for hemodialysis in Serbia: Results from SerbVasc registry.

Introduction: In many countries, hemodialysis is still the most common method of renal replacement. Significant regional variations exist in creating and maintaining vascular access for hemodialysis. Therefore, analyzing national registries with vascular access data is essential for developing effective national treatment strategies.

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) are the most common type of spinal vascular malformations. Multiple SDAVFs are unusual and can occur either synchronously or metachronously, as reported in the literature. We report on the unusual case of a woman with three separate SDAVFs, which were surgically treated within the same setting; the postoperative course was characterised by unexplained repeated haematoma formation within the surgical sites.
